Spaces for Kids on Santa Cruz II
Most people’s bucket lists still include seeing the Galapagos Islands because of its uncommon and distinctive nature. In addition, the Enchanted Isles are a fantastic destination for family vacations, offering both adults and children an incredible and enjoyable time exploring the archipelago. What’s the best way to explore the islands? Naturally, on board an expedition vessel!
We warmly encourage you to peruse this blog and see the fantastic kid-friendly areas that we have accessible on Santa Cruz II! If your family is joining you in the experience, this should give you a decent idea of what to expect. But remember these additional suggestions.
The Library
We have everything we need on board the Santa Cruz II to meet our visitors’ needs. Our ship has numerous cozy common areas designed to facilitate socializing and leisure activities for our visitors. The library is one of the most well-liked areas in Santa Cruz II!
There is enough space in this spacious area to accommodate larger gatherings. It offers many books, some of which will intrigue our younger explorers. A snack and coffee station is also available for those who would rather have a warm beverage or something delicious to chew on. Large, cozy couches are available for visitors to sprawl out on, unwind on, read a book, or watch documentaries that we play on the projector or flat-screen TV.
The library enjoys a fantastic view of the gorgeous scenery outside because it is situated on the Expedition deck at the bow! This spacious space is our meeting place before setting out on our daily adventures. Before leaving for the islands, guests are asked to gather at the library for a last briefing and headcount. One of the most significant areas for Kids aboard the Santa Cruz II is the library!
The Discovery Room
The Discovery Room is one of our most well-liked, kid-friendly areas aboard the Santa Cruz II and is arguably the most engaging area for our young explorers. Compared to the Library, this kids’ area on the Santa Cruz II is a little smaller, but it’s far more private, serene, and, most importantly, fun! Various board games for players of all ages can be found here! We have blocks, checkers, chess boards, puzzles, and even chutes & ladders for younger children. For kids, the Discovery Room doubles as the ideal entertainment hub! It also has an extensive collection of Blu-ray and DVD movies and a flat-screen TV.
Kids may have a great time playing games and having fun in this area on the Santa Cruz II! There’s no need to go inside the Discovery room to observe what the kids are up to because it features an expansive window that looks out into the space, making it easy for parents to keep a close eye on their young ones. You’ll find the Discovery Room, a short distance from the Library, in the center of the Expedition deck.
The Hot Tubs
The hot tub area is one of our guests’ favorite spots to hang out and unwind! Our two fully-equipped hot tubs are located directly on the Expedition deck at the stern of the boat. Visitors can change the water’s temperature to warm or even lukewarm. To ensure the youngsters have a wonderful and pleasant time, we advise you to make it warmer than the ocean’s surface! It doesn’t have to be extremely hot! Our guests love our hot tubs and use them as relaxing retreats, especially after our snorkeling excursions. When our visitors arrive, they will park their belongings where they are supposed to be, climb the stairs, and immediately into the hot tubs.
As you can see, our Santa Cruz II has several amenities that will keep the whole family happy and comfortable! We always ensure that our guests have a wonderful time on the Santa Cruz II during their free time by paying close attention to their needs and preferences!
